A systematic hull form series has been set up, which has extensively been model tested on hydrodynamic performance. This has resulted in an optimal hull form series, ranging from 50 to 150m in length and 9 to 15m width. With this range, the whole spectrum from Offshore Patrol Vessel, via corvette to frigate is being covered. The vessels have been built up in a standardised modular way, using off the shelf equipment where possible. This approach allows the client to compose its own vessel of standard blocks. Of course every vessel can be further customised, based on specific client requirements like amount of equipment, type and make.
For the client this SIGMADesignPhilosophy offers the following advantages;
Flexibility in establishing the optimum arrangement of the clients current operational requirements, whilst maintaining the possibility to implement the changing needs of tomorrow.
Easy implementation of modifications or upgrades in the future, avoid premature obsolescence of the vessel.
Affordability by making use of standard equipment where possible. For every vessel the basis is being formed by a repetitive design, allowing for lower engineering cost. Due to the modular set up of the vessel, standardized production methods are being applied.
Wide selection of hull dimensions and different combat suites, all making use of proven product compositions.
Short lead time for engineering and construction, achieved by the modular set-up and standardization.

Shipbuilding (album)

Shipbuilding is a mini album recorded by Tasmin Archer. Archer decided to follow up her successful 1992 debut Great Expectations with an EP of four covers of songs written by Elvis Costello, which was released in January 1994 in the singer's homeland of the UK and peaked at #40 there. The title track served as the lead track.

SBK Records, Archer's label in North America, decided to release the EP as a full album instead, and to fill the space they also included four tracks from Archer's debut album in live form, including an acoustic version of Archer's UK #1 hit Sleeping Satellite.

The album was released on March 8 1994, but failed to chart in the USA. It achieved good reviews however, especially for the Costello covers.

In September 2013, Elvis Costello and The Roots released an answer song written in the perspective of the other side of the conflict, called "Cinco Minutos con Vos" ("Five Minutes with You"). The song is a duet partly sung in Argentinian Spanish by La Marisoul.

Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding

Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding is a Dutch shipyard, and a continuation of the Koninklijke Maatschappij De Schelde, responsible for a number of ships used by the Royal Netherlands Navy. It is owned by the Damen Group. Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding is situated in Vlissingen.

History

The company was founded October 8, 1875, as the NV Koninklijke Maatschappij De Schelde (KMS) after shipbuilder Arie Smit had taken over the Marine Etablissement the wharf owned by the Dutch navy. Besides shipbuilding and repair, the company also builds machines, engines, steam turbines, airplanes, and light-metal products.

In 1965 the company merged with the NV Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij (RDM) and the NV Motorenfabriek Thomassen of De Steeg, which resulted in the founding, on March 4, 1966, of the Rijn-Schelde Machinefabrieken en Scheepswerven NV (RSMS). Pressured by the Dutch government the Verolme Verenigde Scheepswerven NV was added, and this was the start of Rijn-Schelde-Verolme Machinefabrieken en Scheepswerven NV (RSV). RSV went under and split up, and its shares were taken over by the government and the province of Zeeland. Its name was changed to Koninklijke Schelde Groep BV (KSG) in 1991. In 2000 the government and the province sold their shares to the Damen Group of Gorinchem, and KSG became the company's branch charged with building larger ships for naval and coastguard duty.

Damen Group

History

Damen was established in 1927 in the town of Hardinxveld-Giessendam in the Netherlands by Jan and Marinus Damen. The two brothers ran a successful, mainly Dutch-oriented, shipyard for decades. Over the years they managed to build up a small, but loyal customer-base.

Damen Shipyards Hardinxveld, located about 10 km from Damen’s HQ in Gorinchem, still exists today and is specialised in designing and building workboats, especially Multi Cats ad Shoalbusters.

In 1969 Jan Damen’s son, Kommer Damen, took over. In addition to building reliable vessels at an affordable price, Kommer Damen had a revolutionary idea: the standardisation and series production of workboats. To make this vision become reality he needed the support of several key suppliers and clients, most of which still maintain a close relationship with Damen today.

Today, Damen Shipyards Group is a globally operating company with more than 50 shipyards, repair yards and related companies as well as numerous partner yards that can build Damen vessels locally.
Since 1969, Damen has designed and built more than 5,000 vessels and delivers up to 150 vessels annually.

Naval architecture

Naval architecture also known as naval engineering, is an engineering discipline dealing with the engineering design process, shipbuilding, maintenance, and operation of marine vessels and structures. Naval architecture involves basic and applied research, design, development, design evaluation and calculations during all stages of the life of a marine vehicle. Preliminary design of the vessel, its detailed design, construction, trials, operation and maintenance, launching and dry-docking are the main activities involved. Ship design calculations are also required for ships being modified (by means of conversion, rebuilding, modernization, or repair). Naval architecture also involves formulation of safety regulations and damage control rules and the approval and certification of ship designs to meet statutory and non-statutory requirements.

Litton Industries acquired Ingalls in 1961, and in 1968 expanded its facilities to the other side of the river. Ingalls reached a high point of employment in 1977, with 27,280 workers. In April 2001, Litton was acquired by the Northrop Grumman Corporation.

Is the UK naval shipbuilding industry ready for a ‘renaissance’?

On New Year’s Day 2017, UK Defence Secretary announced “the start of a new era of maritime power,” which would see the government “investing billions in growing the Royal Navy for the first time in a generation, with new aircraft carriers, submarines, frigates, patrol vessels and aircraft all on their way.”

I recently took a tour of the Norfolk Navy Shipyard, which is the largest navy base in the world. It was amazing seeing all of the aircraft carriers, submarines, destroyers, and other amazing ships. It is right next to Nauticus, which is now the home of the retired USS WisconsinBattleship.

As long as there have been humans, the marine world has connected them. It covers two thirds of the earth. It transports 90% of the world’s freight, feeds 3 ½ billion people, defines the world’s borders, and fuels our industries and our imaginations. Perhaps the most challenging and unpredictable environment on earth, it’s home to the largest engineered systems ever built by humans.
The Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor was started in 1879 with an act of Congress authorizing a Navy officer to teach “steam engineering and iron shipbuilding.” Since this modest beginning, NAME has grown into a world-wide leader in education and research, with 16 tenured or tenure track faculty, 6 research faculty, 1 professor of practice, and 11 staff, serving our undergraduate and graduate students along with a network of some 3,000 living alumni.

UK Defence SecretarySir Michael Fallon has unveiled an ambitious new NationalShipbuildingStrategy which meets the challenge set by Sir John Parker last November and sets out plans for the first batch of Type 31e frigates.
Sir John Parker’s independent report into British naval shipbuilding proposed far-reaching recommendations to transform the UK maritime industry and boost the prosperity of regions, shipyards and maritime supply chains across the country.

A systematic hull form series has been set up, which has extensively been model tested on hydrodynamic performance. This has resulted in an optimal hull form series, ranging from 50 to 150m in length and 9 to 15m width. With this range, the whole spectrum from Offshore Patrol Vessel, via corvette to frigate is being covered. The vessels have been built up in a standardised modular way, using off the shelf equipment where possible. This approach allows the client to compose its own vessel of standard blocks. Of course every vessel can be further customised, based on specific client requirements like amount of equipment, type and make.
For the client this SIGMADesignPhilosophy offers the following advantages;
Flexibility in establishing the optimum arrangement of the clients current operational requirements, whilst maintaining the possibility to implement the changing needs of tomorrow.
Easy implementation of modifications or upgrades in the future, avoid premature obsolescence of the vessel.
Affordability by making use of standard equipment where possible. For every vessel the basis is being formed by a repetitive design, allowing for lower engineering cost. Due to the modular set up of the vessel, standardized production methods are being applied.
Wide selection of hull dimensions and different combat suites, all making use of proven product compositions.
Short lead time for engineering and construction, achieved by the modular set-up and standardization.

Is the UK naval shipbuilding industry ready for a ‘renaissance’?

On New Year’s Day 2017, UK Defence Secretary announced “the start of a new era of maritime power,” which would see the government “investing billions in growing the Royal Navy for the first time in a generation, with new aircraft carriers, submarines, frigates, patrol vessels and aircraft all on their way.”
